Lansing, MI, October 28th, 2013 -- For thousands of industrial hygiene professionals, earning the coveted Certified Industrial Hygienist certification is a major milestone in their career. Being a CIH provides recognition of one’s accomplishments and can open many new career opportunities for advancement.

To maintain certification, CIHs are required to accrue Certification Maintenance (CM) points and submit a worksheet detailing the CM points at the end of each CM cycle. CM cycles are 60 months and CIHs can earn credits that can come from a variety of categories, including: IH Practice, Committee Service, Publications, Education, Teach & Present, Exam and Other.

Teach or Present – Teaching or presenting IH topics to any audience is acceptable. Diplomates are some of the best ambassadors for promoting the value of industrial hygiene and the CIH in particular.

Write Questions for the CIH Exam – Questions must be original and pertain to IH.

“Earning CM credits is an essential part of maintaining one’s CIH certification,” reported Tracy Parsons, CIH, Administrative Program Manager at ABIH. “ABIH has developed a document that provides a simply explanation of the process and ways CIHs can earn and report their CM activity. The Certification Maintenance Primer PDF is available for download from the ABIH website.”
